Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A), and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : The primary function of the Golgi apparatus is to package the materials made by the endoplasmic reticulum and deliver it to intracellular targets and outside the cell.
Reason (R) : Vesicles containing materials made by the endoplasmic reticulum fuse with the cis face of the Golgi apparatus, and they are modified and released from the trans face of the Golgi apparatus.
In the light of the above statements, chocse the correct answer from the options given below :
- A
A is false but R is true
- B
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
- C
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
- D
A is true but R is false
Both A and R are factually true: the Golgi does package ER-made material and deliver it intra- and extracellularly, and ER vesicles do enter the cis face and leave via the trans face after modification.
However, per the official key, the Reason is treated as describing the structural/topological flow rather than explaining why the Golgi's primary function is packaging and delivery. Hence R is not considered the correct explanation of A.
